Re: [Rails-devel] Log file query

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

Right, I understand that, but we are using Rails in the Dropbox directory
and sharing it.  We know it is a slight security risk but keeping the
software version synchronized trumped that.

So, the questions remain:

1) Is there any way to prevent Rails from saving the log file on exit if no
actions are taken;
2) What are the conflicted log files, and what purpose do they serve;
3) Are 1 and 2 the same question?
